Larisa Oleynik Is Open to a Hawaii Five-0 Romance With McGarrett

Alex O'Loughlin and Larisa Oleynik

Could Larisa Oleynik's recurring guest spot on Hawaii Five-0 mean a new love interest for Alex O'Loughlin's Steve McGarrett?

"Gosh, that's certainly been the question on all of my single friends' minds," Oleynik tells TVGuide.com. The former Secret World of Alex Mack star begins her multiple-episode run on the CBS drama on Monday playing Jenna Kaye, a CIA agent visiting from Langley, Va. "The thing is when it comes to romance with one of the leads, I kind of hope not. I really like all of their romantic story lines so far. So I don't know if it's in the cards, but listen, I won't complain if it is."

  • Lost "It's my favorite show. I haven't had my world so rocked by a TV show like when I first started watching Lost. As the sixth season was premiering, I was like, "I'll check it out," and went through the series so rapidly, like watching five episodes at a time. And that also adds to my excitement about being in Oahu and working with Daniel Dae Kim. People have issues with the way the show ended, but I don't even care because for me, the world that J.J. Abrams created, I'm still living in it. I think that show had everything that you could possibly want."
  • The Bachelor "I have to confess that every Monday night, I get together with my friend and watch The Bachelor. I think that Brad Womack is as cute as a bug's ear. I think he's one of the best Bachelors. I'm grateful for the second go-around. The show is so ridiculous, but I can kind of watch it knowing how ridiculous it is and how it kind of goes against everything that I believe about love and dating and relationships and being a woman, but I still enjoy it so much. I find it completely entertaining. "On this, the most dramatic season yet..." It's like: Really, Chris Harrison? My favorite is when they're like, "Wow, this is the nicest date anyone's ever planned for me" "Oh, you mean ABC, right" Like [Brad]'s on the internet going, "Let's see, where in Bora Bora can I take...?""
  • Jeopardy! "I've been on and off my whole life. When my mom's in town, we watch Jeopardy! together. I do not have a mind for trivia, which is why I think I like it so much because I don't store information. I'm always like, "Oh, really? No way! History, you don't say!" I get really excited if I get one answer right."
  • Friday Night Lights "I'm only up to the third season, which was amazing and, I think, got back to the core of it and why I love it so much. First of all, I think it's the best marriage on television. It's totally realistic. I like that they get mad at each other. I like that he can be so difficult and have such a hard edge, but it seems like the marriage keeps him so grounded. I just think they're so interesting and have incredible chemistry. I think all the acting on that show is great."
  • Mad Men "I'm pretty addicted to Mad Men and got to do an episode of it and it was totally surreal and totally cool. There are a lot of shows that I've worked on that I will become a fan of, but that was the first time I was such a huge fan of the show and then got to go and exist in this world for five hours. I love the acting on the show. To me, it's really the women on that show that make it. I think Elisabeth Moss is one of the best actors working. I think she's incredible."
